Where have all the Fathers gone? Long time passing...

My friend James Graham spoke at Globe's IGM last night on SPIRITUAL PARENTING and DISCIPLE-MAKING!  It was a powerful time!

He said:

WE HAVE A CHOICE – WE CAN BE A MANAGER OR WE CAN BE A PARENT.   There are certain promises a spiritual parent makes. WE HAVE A CHOICE –

• WE CAN BE A MANAGER with
• Focus on performance
• Focus on behavior
• No emotional connection.
• No permanent investment.
• No true transparency.
• OR WE CAN BE A PARENT, saying and demonstrating.
• You can trust me
• I'll believe the best about you.
• I'll be there for you.
• I'll share my life with you.
• I'll tell you the truth.

So, the world (and the Church!) cries out for some really savvy, loving, forgiving, kind and compassionate DISCIPLE-MAKERS who see themselves as true spiritual fathers and mothers!

It's not about control but true growth and wholeness!

Really.
